(1) All sewers, drains, privies, water-closets, house-gullies and cess-pools within the Municipality shall, unless constructed at the cost of the Municipality, be altered, repaired and kept in proper order at the cost and charges of the owner of the land or building to which the same belong, or for the use of which they are constructed or continued and the Municipality may by written notice require such owner to alter, repair and put the same in good order in such manner as it thinks fit.
(2) The Municipality may by written notice require the owner to demolish or close any privy or cess-pool, whether constructed before or after the coming into operation of this Act, which, in the opinion of the Municipality, is a nuisance or is so constructed as to be incapable of being properly cleaned or kept in good order.
211. Power to close existing private drains- When any building or land within the Municipality has a drain connecting with any cess-pool or sewer, the Municipality, if it considers that such drain, though it may be sufficient for the drainage of such building or land and though it may be otherwise unobjectionable, is not adapted to the general sewerage of the Municipality, may close such drain and such cess-pool or sewer, whether it is or is not on land vested in the Municipality, on providing a drain or drains equally effectual for the drainage of such building or land, and the Municipality shall do any work necessary for the purpose.
